Telescopic Linear Guides
Used in industrial machinery and instrument applications, TPA’s line of telescopic slides and telescopic linear guides are built to last, even in highly repetitive and harsh environments. We manufacture telescopic slides in two different configurations: roller-based linear telescopic slides, and ball-based linear telescopic slides. The roller-based system is more suitable to applications where contaminates may become lodged in the rails or raceways, while the ball-based telescopic slide is ideal for higher load capacity applications.
Both styles of telescopic slide are available either in a cold drawn steel construction or stainless steel. Stainless telescopic slides are ideal for applications where corrosion resistance is a concern. The typical standard telescopic stroke limit for all telescopic slides is 78 in., but special constructions are available if a greater stroke is required. Integrated lubrication systems reduce or eliminate maintenance needs for these telescopic slides, and left hand or right hand configurations are available. Please continue to the links below for full technical specifications of our telescopic slides.
TELERACE Telescopic Linear Guides (Roller Based)
The TELERACE telescopic linear guides are a roller based, high capacity telescopic rail family suitable for the toughest industrial applications. The TELERACE telescopic rails are constructed with cold drawn steel that is hardened to provide long life even in equipment with highly repetitive motion. The large roller diameter will negotiate contaminates better than ball based designs and the innovative rail/roller interface will purge contaminates from the raceways. The rails are treated with the innovative T RACE NOX® process to make them highly corrosion resistant. The combination of contamination and corrosion resistance makes these telescopics suitable for the harshest environments.
- Load capacity to 4122 N (927 lbs) per telescopic rail
- Stroke to 1980mm (78 in); longer as a special
- Standard and compact designs in two frame sizes
- Stainless Steel versions available for the highest levels of corrosion resistance
- Integrated Lubrication System to reduce/eliminate maintenance
- Raceway wipers to clear debris
- Optional self alignment feature to eliminate binding caused by imperfect mounting surfaces
BALLRACE Telescopic Linear Slides (Ball Based)
The BALLRACE telescopic linear slides are a ball based, high capacity telescopic rail family. The BALLRACE telescopic rails are constructed with cold drawn steel that is hardened to provide long life even in equipment with highly repetitive motion. The bearing system consists of large diameter, caged balls for high load capacity. The rails are treated with the innovative T RACE NOX® process to make them highly corrosion resistant. The large balls and hardened steel raceways yield high load capacities and long life.
- Load capacity to 4800 N (1080 lbs) per telescopic rail
- Stroke to 1985mm (78 in); longer as a special
- Standard and compact designs in two frame sizes
- Stainless Steel versions available for the highest levels of corrosion resistance
- Also available with bi-directional stroke, "D" suffix in part number
